Abstract

Marine environmental protection during armed conflict has become a matter of international public concern as escalating tensions among states at sea have caused significant damage to the marine environment. In practice, ambiguity and legal lacunae concerning the applicability of existing rules and regulations governing war at sea have weakened marine environment protection. The superfluous use of weapons, naval platforms, and radioactive substances has increased the attention given by Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. This research constitutes normative legal research since the analysis is mainly constructed through scrutiny of state conduct in complying with the law on naval warfare enshrined at the 1949 Geneva Conventions as well as in the San Remo Manual to avoid skepticism and avoidance for their national implementation. It focuses on proportionality, military objectives, and distinctive modes between combatant status at sea and the marine environment as a protected object during armed conflict. Consequently, the applicable rules and regulations provide legal frameworks for analyzing state conduct in addressing the imminent threat of marine environmental damage during armed conflict at sea, an issue to which Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste are also attentive. This article reveals that clear and robust guidance concerning certain rights and obligations among combatants as well as parties to armed conflict at sea should be derived from principles of international law, including those found in the United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea, particularly the principle of due regard, in order to enhance state capacity to control and monitor their conducts. At the same time, the institutionalization of national rules and regulations should be established in practical terms to minimize potential marine destruction within the legal systems of Indonesia and Timor-Leste

Abstract

Impunity for past gross human rights violations remains a structural feature of Indonesia’s legal-political order. After the Constitutional Court invalidated the 2004 Truth and Reconciliation Commission Law and the Ad Hoc Human Rights Courts repeatedly failed to convict perpetrators, the Joko Widodo administration established the Non-Judicial Settlement Team for Past Gross Human Rights Violations (PPHAM Team) through Presidential Decree 17/2022. This article applies a socio-legal approach to reconstruct the Team’s design and trace its post-Jokowi trajectory, drawing on two in-depth interviews with PPHAM Implementation Team members in 2024 and five focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with civil society organisations, Komnas HAM, the Ministry of Human Rights, and the Komnas HAM Papua Representative Office conducted between October and December 2025. Three contributions follow. First, the Implementation Team achieved a paradigm shift from charity-based to rights-based reparation. Second, the Attorney General’s Office–Komnas HAM deadlock under Law No. 26/2000 is the immediate institutional cause of PPHAM’s creation. Third, under President Prabowo Subianto the scheme has become operationally dormant, with PPHAM coordination administratively reassigned to the Coordinating Ministry for Politics and Security, re-classifying the work as a politico-security matter and eroding the rights-based paradigm. The article proposes integrated reform of Law No. 26/2000 alongside a permanent statutory reparation institution.

Abstract

Environmental crimes in Indonesia, including illegal logging, pollution, and ecosystem destruction, continue to pose serious challenges despite the existence of an extensive regulatory framework. Most previous studies on environmental law enforcement in Indonesia have focused on investigation, evidentiary issues, or corporate criminal liability, while the execution of criminal judgments in environmental cases remains underexamined. This article analyzes the legal and institutional obstacles affecting the execution of criminal judgments in environmental crime cases, particularly those involving corporations, fines, additional sanctions, and environmental restoration orders. This study employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. It examines Law on Environmental Protection and Management, the Criminal Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, and relevant sectoral regulations, and compares the Indonesian framework with selected practices in Germany, Brazil, and the United States. The analysis demonstrates that regulatory disharmony, overlapping institutional authority, limited procedural clarity, and weak post-judgment enforcement mechanisms undermine the effectiveness of environmental criminal law enforcement. The article argues that the central weakness of Indonesian environmental criminal enforcement lies in the post-judgment stage, where fines, additional penalties, corporate compliance orders, and restoration measures frequently remain ineffective in practice

Abstract

This article examines how the Constitutional Court assesses and interprets money politics in dispute cases over regional head election results in Indonesia and what this court settlement means for electoral integrity. It addresses three dispute cases concerning vote-buying allegations in regional elections, corruption of voter choice, violations of constitutionally mandated electoral processes, and examines the effect of money politics on the legitimacy of revoting. As normative legal research, this article analyses how the Court formulates its legal reasoning, applies standards of proof, and evaluates the relationship between electoral violations and final results. It is learnt that the Court has developed a relatively consistent reasoning model. The Court initially determines whether sufficiently convincing facts support a finding of vote buying, examines whether the violation has tainted the purity of voter choice, and subsequently assesses whether the violation has had a significant effect on the election outcome. This article further demonstrates that money politics is no longer viewed merely as an electoral crime, but as a constitutional issue when it undermines democratic legitimacy and distorts the authenticity of electoral results. Unlike earlier studies that mainly discuss money politics in terms of its forms, causes, or general consequences for local democracy, this article frames jurisprudential consistency as the central analytical problem. It offers a more systematic account of how the Court connects proof, voter autonomy, and electoral impact. It argues that clearer more predictable standards are needed to strengthen legal certainty, improve the adjudication of election disputes, and reinforce protections for electoral integrity in Indonesia

Abstract

Public service delivery has become a key domain through which administrative law responds to contemporary challenges of governance, digitalization, and rising citizen expectations. However, existing scholarship has largely examined administrative law and public service delivery in isolation, leaving a gap in understanding how legal frameworks shape service outcomes in practice. This study addresses that gap by conceptualizing public service delivery as a functional site for analyzing administrative law and by identifying enforceability as a central explanatory variable. The article examines how administrative law shapes public service delivery through a comparative analysis of the European Union and Vietnam, focusing on legal principles, institutional arrangements, and governance mechanisms. Methodologically, it adopts a qualitative, law-centered comparative approach grounded in doctrinal analysis and structured through a thematic analytical framework. The analysis demonstrates that public service delivery in the European Union is embedded within a dense and enforceable administrative law framework, where legal principles, multi-level governance, and safeguards for digital administration enhance accountability, procedural fairness, and service quality. In contrast, Vietnam’s public service governance remains largely policy-driven. Although administrative law principles are formally recognized, their practical impact is constrained by limited judicial enforceability, particularly in digital and decentralized contexts. The study concludes that the decisive factor shaping public service delivery is not the formal recognition of administrative law principles, but their enforceability. Sustainable improvements therefore depend on consolidating administrative law as a rights-based and enforceable framework capable of aligning efficiency, digital innovation, and citizen-centric governance across diverse systems
